Supreme Court : Modi Govt Making Judiciary Defunct

By striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commission Act, Supreme Court disturbed the BJP’s plan to recruit saffron judges on a large scale, Colin Gonsalves, Senior SC advocate said.

“Narendra Modi government is making judiciary defunct by not filling the vacancies in judiciary, currently running with 20 percent strength”, he said here on Sunday at a meet organised to remember Human Rights Forum founder K Balagopal.

Speaking after unveiling a book by HRF on Hindutva politics, Colin said a distinction should be made between Hinduism and Hindu Rashtra.
